Oh my goodness - they were PHENOMENAL on stage. They had the people dancing ALL evening. I don't think I've seen 3 encores at a wedding - but it was at least 3 plus DJ sets that only inspired more dancing and singing! The only regret is that we don't have another event lined up that we can invite them to play. If anyone is looking for an extremely good band, excellent performance, fantastic taste in music, the friendliest of people and next level professionalism - these are your team. Thank you for putting the magic into our special day. Honestly couldn't have asked or hoped for more.

One of the most energetic and talented bands I've had the pleasure of seeing live. They bought loads of energy, great song choices (both that they played and during the DJ session between sets) and also performed a beautiful rendition of our first dance song, which was extremely special. Communication up to the wedding day was excellent, they also liaised directly with our venue for the finer points of detail to save us being the middleman! On the day, they turned up on time, setup without fuss (included a bonus song for sound check which got everyone excited). Crowd interaction during their set was excellent - Ian was especially good at A) involving the kids and B) spotting and calling out great dance moves. All in all, these guys are great. You should hire them for your event. We are contemplating getting married again just so we can have another party with them.

If you are looking for a band to fill the dance floor, these guys are exactly what you need. I cannot recommend them enough! They absolutely made my husband's 50th birthday the most amazing night ever. Not only are they great musicians but they are so friendly and go way above and beyond anything we expected. Thank you all for making the night so fantastic!!! I will definitely be booking them again. Ian you are an absolute legend from the time of booking until the day of the party nothing was ever too much trouble.

We had The Hot Shots play at our wedding two weeks ago - they were amazing!! Such great communication from Ian in the run up to the wedding and on the day, they listened to the few requests we had and bought so much fun to our evening. All of our guests have said how great the band were, they were really engaging with us and our guests all evening, we had a great time having them party with us. We know who we will be contacting if we need a band for any future events/parties! Thank you all soooo much!!

We are so blessed to have met you all and to have shared our special day with you. We haven't spoken to one wedding guest that didn't mention how amazing the band were. Genuinely think you guys were the highlight of the day rather than the ceremony. We had so much fun and laughter the whole evening. Couldn't have wished or dreamed for better entertainment. You made our day, you really did. We will remember it forever.

The performance the band put on at our wedding was absolutely amazing, guests of all ages were up dancing. Great selection of songs. One of the highlights for us was that the band took the time to learn our first dance. We as a couple will never forget that! Having The Hot Shots helped complete our amazing day. When all your guests ask how we chose the band and the man running our photo booth comes and asks saying “I’ve been to a lot of weddings and this is one of the best bands I have ever heard”, It just confirms what a success they were!

Just want to say a massive thank you for being our band last week at our wedding. You were absolutely brilliant and everyone we spoke to said exactly the same thing. You had the dance floor going from the first set and I don't think it was empty at all during your sets, which is exactly what me and Jenni wanted. There was so much energy and it has definitely made such an amazing memory and experience from the whole day. The whole band were very friendly as well which again has got so much positive feedback from the guests. Many thanks again.
